Law Enforcement

For almost thirty years, law enforcement officers have been vital partners to MCCE. The Michigan State Police is a co-sponsor and MCCE has provided training and support through our Law Enforcement/Teacher Partnership Program. Law Enforcement officers can help bring law-related content alive for students and provide an important bridge to the community.
